“Hey, wait!”
The urgent voice made you freeze. Instinctively, turn around, only to see a police officer rushing toward you, breathless, his movements frantic.
But as he drew closer, something about him felt… familiar.
“It’s me… Zoro…”
Zoro was panting, his chest rising and falling with exhaustion, but the moment his eyes locked onto yours, a wave of relief washed over his face. Without hesitation, he reached out, gripping your shoulder as if afraid you’d disappear again.
For a moment, he just stood there, searching your face, taking in every detail like he was afraid this was just another trick of this unfamiliar world. Then, his lips curled into a soft, almost disbelieving smile.
“It really is you…” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. “I… I thought I’d never see you again.”
The weight of his words hung between you, heavy with unspoken longing. In this strange world, where everything felt unfamiliar, there was one thing Zoro knew for certain.
He had finally found you again.
